Hurst & Hurst, Attorneys at Law

Aequitas Veritas PLLC is a family law practice led by attorney Trina Hendricks in Somerset, Kentucky — the county seat of Pulaski County in south-central Kentucky. The firm's name — Latin for 'equity and truth' — reflects a commitment to principled, honest legal representation in all family law matters, including dissolution of marriage, custody, and support proceedings. Somerset is a growing community on Lake Cumberland, serving as the commercial hub for the south-central Kentucky region. Aequitas Veritas PLLC serves clients from the diverse Somerset-Pulaski County community with professional counsel under Kentucky's dissolution of marriage framework. Kentucky's no-fault-only approach under KRS §403.140 means that dissolving parties must demonstrate the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage — Kentucky does not permit fault-based divorce grounds, distinguishing it from many other states. The firm handles the full range of Kentucky family law proceedings under KRS Chapter 403, including equitable distribution of marital property, maintenance negotiations, child custody and timesharing arrangements under KRS §403.270, and child support calculations under Kentucky's income shares guidelines. Attorney Hendricks helps clients understand how Kentucky courts determine the marital and non-marital character of property — a critical threshold analysis in every dissolution case. Aequitas Veritas PLLC serves clients throughout Pulaski County and the south-central Kentucky region, including Russell County, Wayne County, McCreary County, and Casey County.
